I have never done a photo session before where I laughed so much, my cheeks hurt.  This session was the first.  This family was celebrating their high school graduate–it was a family of six kids, the youngest being the only boy, and the one who was graduating.  The five sisters  had me laughing nearly the […]

Lately, I’ve been working hard on having a purpose for images that I take during family shoots.  Snapping away without thinking about a final images is easy.  Having the oh, I can crop that later in photoshop attitude is taking the easy route.  Being intentional is a lot more difficult.   By the end of […]

I am a professional beach jumper, did you know that?  If not, here’s the proof.   Look at that graceful elegance.  The lines made by tracing the angle of my arms in one fluid motion. The point of my feet and the position that I chose to place myself according to the sun, sand and […]

Awhile back I received an email from someone who had found me through googling photographers in the area.  I was incredibly happy to hear that I am somewhere on the google radar 🙂  Normally I get booking from referrals. . . it was nice to have someone who chose me, even when looking at other […]

It was a rainy start on the morning of Christina and Aaron‘s wedding.  At Christina’s parents house, the preparation shots were filled with overcast light.  It rained through the ceremony, but thankfully the sky cleared up just in time for out wedding party pictures outside.  The rest of the day was beautiful and clear.  Cocktail […]

 There’s nothing like sitting in the driveway, eating a snack with your favorite neighbor. I hope everyone’s garage is just as messy as mine.  Did you laugh at that picture up there?  A pool table in the garage–lots of bags and crates of stuff.  And check out Carter’s mop on his head?  I wanted to […]

A little peek into the wedding of Kaylei and Christopher–Married May 29th on a perfect Saturday afternoon.  

I have fully entered into busy season for photography.  And I am getting a taste at what the summer will be like.  I am extremely grateful that James will not be teaching summer school–I am sensing that it will be a summer full of photography work.   As it stands right now, I am certainly […]

Happy Father’s Day to my amazing husband James 🙂  I love you for the man you are and for the man you strive to be.  For the way you love our children and for the way you provide for us.  You have a huge heart and you give so much to those around you.  So […]
